PURPOSE: Possible mechanisms of movement malignant cells within the peritoneal cavity during CO2 insufflation and laparoscopy involve direct transfervia laparoscopic instruments or dispersion by water vapor. An in vivomodel has been developed to study these mechanisms. METHODS: Laparoscopy was performed on an animal model (domestic white pig). Cells derived from colorectal cancer cell line Lim 1215 were injected lie free cavity. A polycarbonate filter system with a 5-micron pore diameter...
We present a computational tool to automatically analyze the Raman spectra of nanomaterials. The software manages hundreds simultaneously providing statistical information main spectral features and publication-ready figures.
An atomic force microscope (AFM) based fast dynamic scanning indentation (DSI) nano-DMA method, which relies only on the commonly available capabilities of commercial AFMs to provide quantitatively accurate high-resolution (∼15 nm) spatial maps local viscoelastic mechanical properties (E′, E″, and tan ϕ) in heterogeneous soft adhesive material systems, is described. The versatility DSI approach demonstrated by successfully employing it three industry-leading AFMs/modules (Asylum's Cypher ES...
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful technique for imaging polymer nanocomposites as well other systems with heterogeneous material properties on the nanoscale. However, quantitative measurement of modulus highly susceptible to convoluting structural effects due finite tip radius and stress field interactions particles substrates which are often termed "substrate effect" or "thin film effect". We present an empirical master curve that can model change in measured (EMC) AFM indentation...
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) present extraordinary mechanical properties, with Youngs' modulus>1 TPa and tensile strength>50 GPa; this makes them ideal candidates as fillers for the reinforcement of polymers. However, performance SWNTs in field has fallen behind expectations. This is due to a combination imperfect individualization poor load transfer from polymer SWNTs. Here, we study polymers different chemical nature using mechanically interlocked derivatives single-walled...
The kinetics of phosphine substitution in CpRu(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>X (X = Cl, Br, I, N<sub>3</sub>, and NCO) is consistent with a dissociative mechanism. complexes react chloroform to yield CpRu(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Cl by mechanism that involves loss.
Functionalized epoxies show unique advantages in some special applications. Herein, a fluorescent and UV-shielding dual-functional epoxy resin, epoxy-EAn, is prepared via synthesizing incorporating reactive additive, 9-anthracenemethoxyl glycidyl ether (EAn), into the resin system. The results that EAn performs an outstanding migration resistance. addition of small amount (0.1%) enables epoxy-EAn to emit bright blue-violet fluorescence under UV light, making feasible adhesive for...
Background: TTFields are electric fields that disrupt cancer cell viability. therapy is approved for glioblastoma and mesothelioma. The randomized, pivotal (phase 3) LUNAR study (NCT02973789) assessed the efficacy safety of with investigator's choice standard systemic (ST; immune checkpoint inhibitor [ICI] or docetaxel [DTX], care at time design) metastatic non-small lung (mNSCLC) progressing on/after platinum-based therapy.

Abstract Tumor-initiating cells (TICs), also termed cancer stem (CSCs) are involved in breast chemoresistance, metastasis and disease progression. To pinpoint tumor cell vulnerabilities transcriptional drivers of therapeutic relevance, we have characterized the triple negative (TNBC) CSC landscape using epigenome mapping nucleosome occupancy determination. We identify a set regulators signaling mediators that enforce state instruct potential strategies. The basal epithelial marker,...
This two-phased mixed-methods study first surveyed a racially and ethnically diverse group over 800 current former smokers to assess the attitudes, risk-perceptions, prevalence of dual users (both tobacco e-cigarettes). The second phase works test feasibility, accuracy, usability wearable electrodermal activity sensor mobile assessment tool understand stress levels precipitators as they relate craving smoking triggers for older African American men who are smokers.
The study seeks to involve participants as active partners in the development and testing of an innovative, technology-based intervention support hypertension self-management behavior through engagement physical activity. Using a combination mobile activity tracking ecological momentary assessment intervention, this three-phased will examine acceptability usability such ultimately test with over 50 African American/Black women ages 60 older.
